After watching some tutorials it looks almost too good to be true. I'm actually afraid to start using it because that would probably be the end of my participation at GMC. I say that like it's a bad thing. Thanks for PopCap post. Those guys are an inspiration. Unity looks sweet. After watching some tutorials it looks almost too good to be true.

It's free, it's powerful, it strikes the right balance between D&D and code... it just makes everything so easy. However, whilst that is a huge User figure, the community hasn't flourished like I expected it too. A cursory glance at the forums would suggest that the only new users taking an interest in the community are the "I don't wanna read the manual" types... I could be wrong, but that's my first impression. The Unity Answers site it a great idea though... could be worth the GMC taking a look? It would probably alleviate some of the grievances the novice and intermediate section has. Must say I’ve fallen in love with Unity.
